* restriction-formula-without-versioned-dpkg-dev-dependency * restriction-formula-with-debhelper-without-debhelper-version based on a chat with helmut over IRC: """ 08:11 < helmut> nthykier: i think the tags are overbroad. 08:12 < helmut> nthykier: why should the usage of Build-Profiles require versioned dpkg-dev? older dpkg-dev just ignores the header 08:12 < helmut> nthykier: next, why should build profiles in Build-Depends require a recent dpkg-dev? either it is recent, then things are ok, or it isn't then it fails to parse Build-Depends. 08:13 < helmut> nthykier: in neither case do we gain anything by adding that dependency 08:13 < helmut> nthykier: the former also applies to debhelper. the latter less so. 08:16 < helmut> nthykier: let me backpedal a slight bit: if a binary package section has Build-Profiles with positive profiles (i.e. not enabled by default), then one does need both versioned deps. [...] 08:45 < helmut> nthykier: 1) do not add versioned dpkg-dev solely for using build profiles in Build-Depends (as dpkg would fail to parse anyway) 08:45 < helmut> nthykier: 2) do not add versioned deps for using only negative profiles in Build-Profiles headers """ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
